Hello fellow farmers. My name is Sean and I live up in Maine with my four kids and wife on our small 5 acre farm. We don’t sell much of anything from our farm and I’m not really interested in any of that BS but when you have four kids, raising your own protein (eggs, chicken and rabbits) helps the wallet a lot.
I’ve been around thcfarmer for a few years. I love growing plants and try to spend as much time as I can doing some aspects of it. We have a greenhouse which makes winter in Maine a bit more bearable. We grow fresh apples/pears, cider apples/pears, berries, nuts, flowers and many other trees and shrubs...we grow a lot of types of plants but cannabis is by far my favorite and always has been. I love the plant like many of you do. I grow organically and build my own lights and soil trying to cut out the middle man from everything.
I was using two sealed rooms using CO2 but had no way to vent out the room if I needed to, which only became a problem when I fed my plants fish and the smell would make me mildly nauseous for a few days. I also wanted to fix a couple smaller issues of inconvenience with the room and figured I would document it and maybe help someone with their construction.
My new room will be a total of 12' by 12' with the smaller veg room taking up 5 foot by 8 foot of that area.
Demolition: Completed last week.
Construction: Building a small veg room within the larger room today. Rerun electrical to put the box in a more convenient spot on the ceiling. Run a pex line so I can have water access from the room and not have to haul it in. Tile and sheetrock and put doors up.
Time to get to work. Ill post a few photos later. Hope you all are doing well and have a great day.
